Game Part 4: Christmas Screen Shots

How well do you know Christmas entertainment? Let's play a game! Jeff from Name That Christmas Special
website generously shared with me a group of Christmas screen shots
taken from episodes, specials and movies. Can you identify what program
each screen shot is taken from? Parts 1, 2, and 3 went well so I thought
I'd create a fourth installment.

Same rules as before. Play along by leaving your answer in the comments below. PLEASE identify only one
screen shot--let's give everyone a chance to play along. Some are easy,
some are harder. Bonus points: if you can identify which specific episode of the
TV series some of these are pulled from or the original date of the
movie or special. There are no prizes--only bragging rights. Here goes:

#41 is Happy Holidays with Bing and Frank, from the Frank Sinatra Show, December, 1957. Filmed in color but aired in black and white, so the story goes. If you look closely you can see Norma Zimmer in the chorus.

Norma is to the right of Frank in that shot, but cut off. You can only see her shoulder. They cut to Norma and two others in a closer shot and then cut back to everyone. She has brown hair and hadn't yet started on Lawrence Welk--that was in 1960. I think Norma also sang in the choir on one Bing Crosby recording of White Christmas.

#40 is an easy one, but i will take it. WHITE CHRISTMAS with bing crosby, rosemary clooney, danny kaye, and vera ellen. it is the finale scene where they all sing the song white christmas at the inn. i think i have the movie and the songs all memorized. :)
